Killer Instinct - Smoking, Resetting, Blue Screen, PROBLEMS
Just gotta Killer Instinct cabinet. Worked fine while we were playing it at the seller's place, but then it becomes a completely different story when I bring it home.
We start playing, and it's playing without sound. We keep playing anyway, and then we hear a loud POP, and the sound kicks in. The pop is loud enough to freak us all the hell out, so I'm not sure if that was just the speaker.
Then the machine starts resetting. So, I cut it off, open the back up, and then cut it back on. Nothing but rolling blue screens. It's at this point that I do some digging online and figure it must be a hard-drive problem. Frustrated, I decided to save it for another day.
Well, I try to get back into it today. I hope that I can bring up the main menu at least once so that I can go into test mode and maybe find out what is wrong. Well... I power it on, it makes an ungodly sound, and I notice black smoke coming out of the protruding black part of the board that this picture is pretty much centered on: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/the7k/IMG_20111013_165500.jpg
Also noticed a little bit of gray smoke coming from this part, which I assume to be the hard-drive: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/the7k/IMG_20111010_222628.jpg
Any idea what is going on? Sounds like a lot of problems all at once, not sure where to pinpoint the problem.
I took some more pictures of the back, in case it might help.
